EWANEE HIGH SCHOOL opened the 193 I football schedule by defeating
the strong team of Trinity High from Bloomington, the first time in history
that Kewanee played Bloomington. Five minutes after the game started
Kewanee had put the ball across the goal for the first touchdown of the season. The
half ended 12 to o for Kewanee. In the second half our second team was used.
In the next game, against Galva High, Kewanee's first and second teams
gained the distinction of making nearly a point a minute. Enough said! Against
Rock Island the team played very good football and won by a score of 21-0. In the
game with Moline, Kewanee played the finest football of the year. Although we
lost the game and also our chance for first place in the Big Nine Conference, we
outplayed Moline in every department of play. It was a hard game to lose.
After the fierce Moline game, our team was in a poor condition to meet the
strong Spring Valley eleven, and at their hands we were given the worst defeat of
the year. The less said, the better! Our last out-of-town game was played at
Geneseo; we came home with victory but very little enthusiasm. The strong Galesburg
eleven was next on our schedule and the team, again in high spirits, walked
away with victory. Galesburg did not make a single first down.
In the inter-city classic between Kewanee and Wethersfield our team displayed
a smooth pass attack that downed the "Goose Island" eleven with ease. Our "shock
troops" saw plenty of action in this game.
Revenge was sweet against Princeton this year after our stinging defeat of
last year. Our team ran up and down the field for an overwhelming victory in the
"Turkey Day" classic. Princeton was unable to score during the entire game.
